Viewing error Mick?

4472 ≠ 4772

My concerns lie in other sections......see e-mail gents.

[Danby Wiske]

there are two locos on the list who share a grisly coincidence

A4 Herring Gull and B16 925 were both destroyed in the York Station bombing.

Don't think 4469 was named 'Herring Gull' when it was bombed. 4469 was named 'Sir Ralph Wedgewood' at the time, and that name was transferred to 4466 'Herring Gull'.
Out for a duck perhaps?
But I never understood why there was a 'Seagull' (4902) and a 'Herring Gull' (4466) at the same time, or should 4902 have been 'Black Headed Gull', or better 'Greater Black Backed Gull' but there wasn't room on the smokebox?

The name you are after 'Robert' is Gadwall.

[Danby Wiske]

My mistake - it was Gadwall of course...

[drmditch]

That's why I suggested 'out for a duck'!

Hi

[Tom F]

Mick, it says 4772...put your glasses on

[mick b]

Yes it does say 4472 !!! since when has that been a V2 !!! it should I presume be 4771 i.e Green Arrow.

This should clear up any confusion (from this site)

Optics up the spout or dyscalculia?

Looks like 4772 to me, not 4472

Optics up the spout....I know a chap who can help.

I'm delighted by the diversity of stock and I understand space and running limits, but no Green Arrow? ( As far as I'm aware from the list on this small IPhone screen ) Surely she could be shoehorned into one corner on static?

Wasn't she allocated to King's Cross and diagrammed exclusively to work the Scotch goods as far as Peterborough (only) during our period? Hence wouldn't be seen at Grantham in the normal course of events....

(Atlantic 3279 - quick! we need an excuse as to why the P1 made the list in that case....)

Do bear in mind the 'rider' at the bottom of the description - anything may turn up on the day
